Australia will be joining a censorship club with Iran, China and Saudi Arabia.

The first two reasons are (more or less) fine with me, as I’ve discussed here. I’d put them differently to how it’s phrased on TGAIB.

The last one, in my view, is wrong-headed. It is this argument (the filter = censorship) that is the least effective:

In my view, the No Clean Feed campaignâ€™s focus on the Internet filter equating to political censorship is foolish. It does not live up to most Australiansâ€™ lived experience. Few Australians are affected by the â€œcensorshipâ€ inherent in the current refused classification material regime.
